Fight Like It’s 1917 Lyrics by Marcel Cartier

2017

Verse 1
Poor people, unemployed, working class
Peasantry, the have nots, now's our chance
We gonna make a run straight to the Winter Palace
we mean these Tsarist cronies all kinds of malace
we been the oppressed for so fucking long
but in unity we're overwhelmingly strong
we ain't gonna overthrow 'em to replace
these evil people with another evil kind of face, naw!
you see how we do, building Soviets
that means workers' councils, powers we'll be holding it
don't be afraid when we call for dictatorship
not the bourgeoisie, it's for the proletariat
that means the people in control of the government
that means the dissolution of this previous
regime that wants to call itself 'democrat'
but we know the landowners still run that
Hook
Party like it's 1917, no -- Fight like it's 1917
Struggle like it's 1917, for the future you know what I mean?
Verse 2
The time is ripe for the coming insurrection
It's gotta be the 7th now that the weapons
have been delivered to the Petrograd Soviet
we'll overthrow this Provisional Government
the people wanting peace, land and some bread
Kerensky offered broken promises instead
Lenin and the Bolsheviks plotting the end
of the exploiters and war, saying no defence
of Russia's so-called interests in conflict
workers of the world got no stake in bloodshed
oppressed nationalities had no place
in the Russian Empire, now they'll own their fate
they'll build their culture, rally in their language
we'll put an end to the Great Russian chauvinists
we'll put an end to the remnants of the past
first of all we'll need the power in the people's hands
